Liverpool hold all the power here.
We showed during the Suarez affair that we'd only sell if we wanted to. It didn't matter how much Suarez said he wanted to leave, we made him stay. He then had his best season ever.
Sterling is probably not worth £50m in the standard market, but as many of you point out, he's one of our two top players, so to US he is worth every bit of that, probably more.

If Sterling is made to stay for his remaining 2 years, it could easily be worth more in the long run and being under 24, we'd still get a fee for him (upwards of £10m) when his contract expires.

Simply put, Liverpool have no reason to sell him, so it is up to Man City to make us an offer we can't refuse, like Barca did for Suarez.

Surely with the new tv deal money there will be rapid inflation in transfer fees once the summer window begins. What may appear expensive now i'm sure will be viewed differently when the window closes.

The nature of this deal is also quite unusual. This is the most exciting young player at Liverpool since Gerrard and Owen, and yet the player is moving to a direct rival in the Premier League, not Real Madrid.

There may be a premium for this transfer but the ones paying by far the heaviest price will be Liverpool.

I want these numbers quoted every time some fucker attempts to discuss value for money on a transfer.

We paid Toure £1.25m in wages whilst he was away playing at AfCON.

We have paid £80m for a ground extension of 6,000 seats that won't see a return for 25 years.

Lastly, we paid Scott Sinclair £40k a week for three years.

Some of these same fans who pay £6.50 for a shitty balti pie and consider it a form it nutrition.

What people don't appreciate is that our owners made enough profit from their short term investment in Barclay's Bank to fund every penny of our clubs expenditure to date, plus all of the dream signing we can think of for the next 10 years. It's all about perspective. This is why every member of the old guard shit themselves and invented FFP.
 
The talk of spending to much money on this thread is comical in it's irony.

Every single one of us are ripped off every single fucking day.

We allow it with our own money, yet people get all moralistic when it's someone else's.

Mindboggling.

I did post something reasonable in here, but it's not been approved for no reason at all.
Shame.

We should have a chat.

It wasn't approved because you attempted to define yourself as a City fan, talking about how "we" did this and that. We're ok with scousers coming over but we will never tolerate people misrepresenting themselves
